✨ Why This Book Is Premium
Seed to Plate is intentionally printed as a high-quality, durable hardcover because it’s meant to be used, not just read.
✔ Full-color interior throughout — clear visuals, charts, and photography
✔ Ultra-premium interior paper — thicker, sturdier pages that hold up to frequent use
✔ Glossy, wipeable pages — practical for kitchen spills and garden notes
✔ Hardcover binding — designed to last for years on your counter or bookshelf
✔ 204 pages of original content — gardening, cooking, planning, and practical know-how
This is a book you can keep open on the counter while you cook, flip through in the garden, and return to season after season. It’s built like a reference book because that’s exactly what it is.
🌱 Rooted in Real Experience
Written by Laura Lawrence of Food Prood, a Northern Michigan homesteader who—alongside her husband and three children—raises the majority of their own food, Seed to Plate is filled with lived experience, not theory.
Every tip, recipe, and lesson comes from years of trial, error, abundance, and learning what truly works in a home garden and homestead kitchen.
